VINO Tear the Prisoner Away from the
Omcers and Put Speedy End to His Ex
isiance.
A Birmingham, Ala, Special says:
Monroe johnson the negro who murder
ed Mrs John Foster on the night of the
31st of August, was lynched at o'clock
on the morning of September 18th, near
the scene of his crime. johnson was
arrested in Atlanta about ten days
ago, and held to await a requisition.
Saturday Special Officer Dabney went to
Atlanta for the prisoner He left there
on the night train with his prisoner hand
cuffed and chained to seat. At Leeds
sixteen miles from this city, the train
was signaled to stop. The moment it
came to standstill four masked men,
armed with shotguns, boarded the engine
and covering Engineer Shivers with
their weapons ordered him to stand still,
while dozen others entered the cars.
When they caught sight of the negro
there was a shout and
THEY SEIZED HIM.
They didn't wait to unlock the chain,
but tore the seat from the floor and drag
ged it out with the negro. Two hund-
red yards from the depot large walnut
tree stood, and to this the mob hurried
A rope was already around the negro's
neck and In a moment he was
SUSPENDED IN MIDAIR.
The mob then moved off ten PAGES and
with shotguns, rifles and pistols riddled
the writhing body with bullets. The
body remained hanging to the limb all
day and was viewed by hundreds of peo-
pie. The crime for which johnson was
lynched was brutal murder of respect
able white lady. He had previously kill
ed two negroes, served two terms in the
state prison and was considered the
worst character ever in this community.
1t is rumored here that riot, grow
ing out of the hanging, is now in pro-
gress at Leeds, but owing to the imper>
feet telegraphic communication, particu-
lars are wanting. Johnson Is reported
to have begged piteously for his lie. as
serting his innocence till the last.

expressed a desire TO have the young lady mako
her home with him. Elliott promised TO give
her every possible attention, and later in tho
day the chief instructed tho young lady to
leave her mothers home and 20 to her BROTH

ished her days work, she passed her mothers
home and went on to Bill Woods. Since then
she has been living with Elliott. At first her
mother made several attempts toget her back,

Last night, however, the mother renewed
her efforts 70 secure her daughter, and street

lie was Gay and FESTIVE.

From the Dawson Georgia News.
Saturday afternoon a negro brought some
cotton to town. he farmed on shares and of
course the farmer with whom he lived had to
furnish him with rations through the year.
lie was IN the habit of drawing little money
every time he sold some cotton so the farmer
put the usual question Gwen Joe how much
money do you want to day?" 81 want ten
dollars" said Joe. "That is too much Re-
member you have traded great deal during
the year and must do on as small amount as
possible until we see how you are going to
come out" Look here Boss Yves gwiue to
have or big meetin, Rirh wants or new dress
and er par shoes an Pm er bligep to have ten
dollars Take five Joe and if you can't got
on with it [ will let you have more" Joe
took the five and going off to a saloon got two
or three drinks ahead and felt as Jolly as an
Irish lord and as rich as a Rothschild So in
an hour or two when the farmer saw him and
wanted to know how he was getting along he
said: Boss rs de richestnigger in old Ter
rel county an if yer see er man what wants
ter berry any money jest send him to joe"
We have not heard how Joe settled with Riah
about the new frock and shoes after he got
home, but he was gay and festive while in
town.
